This annual festival unfolds in Datu Piang of Maguindanao, taking place from February 14th to the 18th. It serves as a vibrant platform showcasing a diverse array of products from both the Inaul and other native regions across the country. A notable aspect of the event is the active involvement of the legendary Datus, who were esteemed rulers of various indigenous communities nationwide. They contribute to the festivities by engaging in musical performances featuring instruments like the kulintang and presenting traditional Maguindanaoan dances.
The Maguindanaoan Inaul holds significance not only for its intricate craftsmanship but also for its versatile utility. This unique fabric can be worn in various styles, serving purposes ranging from casual to formal wear and even garments with religious significance. Often transformed into “malong,” these cloths play a multifaceted role in the cultural practices of the Maguindanaoans.
